    Description
    This course previews the historic evolution of structures, considering the influence of cultural, economic, and resource factors.The four S’s for required for architectural structures: Synergy, Strength, Stiffness and Stability. This class studies existing structures determining synergy and load paths, load on buildings (dead- and live load) dynamic and thermal loads, as well as structural responses to loads. With static equilibrium as basis of analysis students calculate the strength of materials and mechanics, examining stress, strain, and stress-strain relations.
